Abstract

The skin is the human body’s largest organ, colonized by a diverse milieu of microorganisms. The primary role of the skin is to serve as a physical barrier, protecting our bodies. The skin is also an interface with the outside environment and, as such, is colonized by a diverse collection of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and viruses). Colonization is driven by the ecology of the skin surface, which is variable depending on endogenous host factors and exogenous environmental factors (genes, sex, age, diet, air pollution, exposure to UV light, etc.). Age has a great effect on the microenvironment of the skin and on the colonizing microbiota. In utero, fetal skin is sterile, but colonization occurs immediately after birth. During puberty, changes in sebum production parallel the levels of lipophilic bacteria on the skin
